PayPal and GoDaddy respond to Twitter hacking controversy (allhackersnews.com)

Naoki Hiroshima recently published a distressing account of how he lost his desirable @N Twitter username to a hacker. But part of his story accuses PayPal of giving the last four numbers of Hiroshima’s credit card to the perpetrator. “I called PayPal and used some very simple engineering tactics to obtain the last four of your card,” the hacker reportedly revealed in an email — after Hiroshima had agreed to give up his Twitter account. “I was acting as an employee,” he said. This first step was key in the sequence of events, but now PayPal is denying that it released any information on Hiroshima. After first denying the account via Twitter, the company has now issued an official statement.
